Friends of the Earth
seeks to influence policy and practice through an
honest, accurate and open approach.
| We do this by |
 |
 Working local to global |
From our 200+ local groups to 70+ Friends of the
Earth International
groups we are the only local-global
environmental campaign group. |
|
| Solutions based research |
| We don't just look for problems - we find credible
alternatives. |
|
| Enabling campaigning |
| We provide information and tools so people like
you can act. |
|
Friends of the Earth wants a world where protection
of the environment
and meeting everyone's needs
go hand-in-hand. |
| |
| Three beliefs underpin
our work |
|
| We must look after our planet |
Live within the limits of the natural world. This
means polluting
and using less. |
|
| Everyone has a right to a fair share |
Meet our needs - and keep the environment safe
- now and in the future.
This is environmental
justice. |
|
| Realistic alternatives are possible |
Only grow the economy in ways that focus on quality
of life and protection
of the planet. |
|
The means to these ends is just as important.
We won't compromise our principles:
· Work within the law - campaign to change
it.
· Independence from political parties.
· Don't take money from big companies

The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) is an international campaigning organisation dedicated to exposing crimes against the environment.
Since 1984 EIA has worked undercover to investigate and expose illegal timber barons, CFC brokers, ivory dealers and skin traders by changing opinions and laws around the world.
A large proportion of global carbon emissions are caused by deforestation in developing countries and efforts to reduce damage to the ozone layer are being undermined by the illegal trade in Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS).
We are fighting climate change by combating deforestation in Indonesia, the world’s third largest emitter of climate changing CO2, to help preserve these tropical rain forests as the lungs of the planet.
